…Edevbie in Ughelli North

Meanwhile, PDP trounced All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ward 3/7, Ughelli North, the traditional home of opposition in Delta State, which PDP has not won since 1999.

Ward 3/7 falls within Ughelli constituency 2, which comprises Ughelli Ward 1-5, 2-6 and 3-7 spread among Agbarho, Uwheru and Afiesere axis. Besides Ward 3/7, PDP lost both governorship and House of Assembly elections in the other wards.

Sources attributed the good showing of PDP in Ughelli Ward 3/7 to the influence of the Commissioner of Finance, Olorogun David Edevbie, a native of Afiesere, whose positive impact on indigenes of the communities in the ward dwarfed those of APC members and leaders in the area.

A resident said Olorogun Edevbie has proven, once again, that he is very much in touch with the grassroots in his locality.
